I give myself a pep talk and visualize the routine. I tell myself: "I can do this, let's go!"

Sacrifices are not in vain. At the end, everything will pay off.

I wanted to tell my story and where I came from and my background, because it was not easy.

Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me.

I googled 'Gabby Douglas,' and all these things popped up like 'Gabby Douglas makes history!' And 'She's the champion!'

Everyone was telling me you have this great potential and you can be on top. I didn't believe that, but everyone was just telling me to believe in myself. I did and I'm kind of up on top and it's amazing.

I accomplished something big and that's a memory I will never forget.
